American Pravda

By James O'keefe

Description

The one real difference between the American press and the Soviet state newspaper Pravda was that the Russian people knew they were being lied to. To expose the lies our media tell us today, controversial journalist James O’Keefe created Project Veritas, an independent news organization whose reporters go where traditional journalists dare not. Their investigative work–equal parts James Bond, Mike Wallace, and Saul Alinsky—has had a consistent and powerful impact on its targets.

In American Pravda, the reader is invited to go undercover with these intrepid journalists as they infiltrate political campaigns, unmask dishonest officials and expose voter fraud. A rollicking adventure story on one level, the book also serves as a treatise on modern media, arguing that establishment journalists have a vested interest in keeping the powerful comfortable and the people misinformed.

The book not only contests the false narratives frequently put forth by corporate media, it documents the consequences of telling the truth in a world that does not necessarily want to hear it. O’Keefe’s enemies attack with lawsuits, smear campaigns, political prosecutions, and false charges in an effort to shut down Project Veritas. For O’Keefe, every one of these attacks is a sign of success.

American Pravda puts the myths and misconceptions surrounding O’Keefe’s activities to rest and will make you rethink every word you hear and read in the so-called mainstream press.

Reviews

Great read for insight into current media

By Kurzxl

If you are not blinded by group think and want insight into the decline of honest media, then this is a great book. He looks at history of the media and how they have lost their objectivity and are using their power to influence and control thought and people. Highly recommend!

Disgusting

James O Keefe is a disgusting liar and his work should have no place in American discourse. Far from being anti-establishment he is simply part
of the facist wing of the establishment and it is no surprise that his book is featured next to Chris Matthews and David Frum.
